## The Firm

Waud Capital Partners, founded by Reeve Waud and investing for more than thirty years, runs from LaSalle Street in Chicago with sixty-plus professionals under six partners averaging twenty-five years of experience. It invests in exactly two lanes, healthcare and mission-critical software and technology, and its model is executive-led: the firm pairs sectors with proven executives, in its own words thoughtfully selecting both to give them the most potential to create value.

Its published operating numbers describe the buy-and-build cadence: an average of ten-plus add-ons per healthcare platform during its hold, five-plus in software, and 400 percent average revenue growth across realized companies. The registry deal is Senior Helpers, its seventh home-care and post-acute investment, which put a 380-location franchised home-care system under private equity ownership in 2024.

A home-care searcher should read Waud as the institutional ceiling of the trade: when a franchise system that size trades to a healthcare specialist, the independents below it become add-on targets for the platforms that follow. Meeting the firm means knowing the two-sector discipline, the executive-partnership model, the add-on averages, and the Reeve Waud founding, because its materials lead with all four.

Read again in September 2026: the home care platform's own page still counts two additional acquisitions and names nothing after MedTec, while the firm's media page since is other platforms, appointments and an ophthalmology partnership. The whole newsroom opened that evening holds no home care purchase beyond the two rows, and the platform's own site lists the same two; the sponsor's nine other purchases since 2022 are healthcare and software, a count here.

## Confirmed Deals

Deals traced to announcements, newest first. Firms that announce every deal show a fuller run here than firms that report acquisitions as quarterly counts, so read this as the evidence that clears the bar rather than as the firm's whole record.
